Ultimate Fitness Challenge

Sydney, Aug 7: If you’re looking for a meaningful way to shake off those winter cobwebs, STEPtember is the perfect fitness challenge.
This inclusive health and wellbeing fundraising event in Australia invites you to take 10,000 steps a day this September while raising funds for the Cerebral Palsy Alliance.
Here’s how you can rally your friends, colleagues, and family for the ultimate fitness challenge:

Rally the Crew

Gather your friends, family, and colleagues to join you in the 10k steps-a-day challenge. Create a WhatsApp group to stay connected and keep the motivation high. Sharing your progress on social media can also encourage others to donate and join the fun.

Utilize a Smartwatch or Strava

Use apps and smartwatches to connect with others and track your steps and routes. This adds a layer of friendly competition, and you can set mini-challenges, like “the first person to hit 10k steps a day wins.”

Dress the Part

Cult underwear brand Step One has released a limited-edition design for the challenge. For every pair sold, they will donate $5 to the Cerebral Palsy Alliance. Known for their “Ultraglyde” panels that prevent chafing, Step One underwear is perfect for your 10,000-steps-a-day goal.

Set a Fundraising Goal

Challenge your friends to raise funds for the cause. Set targets, such as the first to raise $200 or the person who raises the most gets treated to a few rounds at the bar. This adds an extra layer of motivation to your fitness goals.

Understand the Cause

The Cerebral Palsy Alliance funds essential research, services, and assistive technology to help people with cerebral palsy live their best lives. Your participation can make a difference by identifying babies at risk of cerebral palsy and providing early intervention therapies, conducting essential research from early detection and diagnosis to regenerative medicine and innovative mobility technologies, developing life-changing assistive technology like eye gaze devices for communication, supporting tech start-ups that amplify human potential and reduce barriers for people with disabilities, and empowering teenagers and young adults with disabilities through youth programs to take on new challenges and live their best lives.
STEPtember offers a chance to make a real difference while also improving your own health and wellbeing. Gather your crew and take on this challenge together, knowing each step supports a worthy cause.
